The banners, flags and T-shirts Women for Obama, Hispanics for Obama, LBTG for Obama plaster Democratic campaign offices in the hard fought swing state of Florida, just as in 2008. What's missing this time is the people.
Four years ago Barack Obama's campaign was flooded by volunteers the young in particular excited by his vision of remaking America, and by the prospect of putting an African American in the White House. Now active support in Florida is visibly more sparse, and it may prove decisive as Democrats struggle to claw back the state from Mitt Romney.

I keep hearing the Obama campaign has pretty much thrown in the towel in FL,VA, NC, concentrating everything in their firewall state-OH.
yeah, Joe and Seek, have you noticed the LOCAL media in Miami has quit reporting Obamugabe’s poll numbers?
I have. They suddenly have SHUT UP about the national *and* state numbers because their hero Zero is losing. And losing big.
The Guardian, as most FReepers know, is a UK Newspaper well Left of Center. It cannot please them to report this lack of enthusiasm. I’m sure they wish Barak had been more left wing, but they sure don’t want him to lose this election. It’s good to see they’re reporting the News instead of trying to manufacture it, like the US MSM.
Wow, when the Guardian is running an article with this title, you know the wheels are coming off of the wagon at the Obama campaign.
Yes but we cant be complacent... Fl went for BOZerO last time. We still need big turnout there.
The Guardian is England’s MSNBC. This means they know O will lose FL.
Here in the liberal dump of Gainesville, I haven’t seen remotely the same enthusiasm or products. I haven’t heard students saying much either.
” - - - Women for Obama, - - - “
Why would any self-respecting woman support Obama?
Certainly not for borrowing money from our grandchildren to give todays women abortions, contraception, etc.
Certainly not because Obama wants to keep Free Sex advocate Sandra Fluke flat on her back at taxpayer expense.
Sleazy Obama, very sleazy.
O is dead in the water in Fla. Rush quoted some poll numbers showing Obama up by only 4% in the Dade/Broward area, an area he won by around 30% in ‘08. If it’s anywhere close to that Romney will win going away.
